Breathtaking

These reports are breathtaking to me if they are true. If Catholics had such a record in our modern world,(As opposed to their past) they would be publicly chastized by every denomination of christianity. The bloody past of religious intolerance is trying to show its head again and there is no room in the modern world for this type of violence from religion. Muslims need to be the loudest in decrying the violence of the radicals. The few voices of the moderates against Islam shows the world that there is a silent support for the brutailty being demonstrated in the world.

Christians have a similar belief that the non-christians will be destroyed in a final battle, but SO FAR, the violence from radical christianity has not reared its head in our modern world. Anyone that says that christianity is better than Islam has forgotten christianity's bloody past.

Religion is the problem because religion creates distinctions between "believers" and "non-believers" Believers being worthy and non-believers being unworthy.

Listen to those who seek truth and avoid those who claim to have found the truth
